With IPI virtualization enabled, the processor emulates writes to
APIC registers that would send IPIs. The processor sets the bit
corresponding to the vector in target vCPU's PIR and may send a
notification (IPI) specified by NDST and NV fields in target vCPU's
Posted-Interrupt Descriptor (PID). It is similar to what IOMMU
engine does when dealing with posted interrupt from devices.
A PID-pointer table is used by the processor to locate the PID of a
vCPU with the vCPU's APIC ID. The table size depends on maximum APIC
ID assigned for current VM session from userspace. Allocating memory
for PID-pointer table is deferred to vCPU creation, because irqchip
mode and VM-scope maximum APIC ID is settled at that point. KVM can
skip PID-pointer table allocation if !irqchip_in_kernel().
Like VT-d PI, if a vCPU goes to blocked state, VMM needs to switch its
notification vector to wakeup vector. This can ensure that when an IPI
for blocked vCPUs arrives, VMM can get control and wake up blocked
vCPUs. And if a VCPU is preempted, its posted interrupt notification
is suppressed.
Note that IPI virtualization can only virualize physical-addressing,
flat mode, unicast IPIs. Sending other IPIs would still cause a
trap-like APIC-write VM-exit and need to be handled by VMM.

Massage VMX's implementation names for kvm_x86_ops to maximize use of
kvm-x86-ops.h. Leave cpu_has_vmx_wbinvd_exit() as-is to preserve the
cpu_has_vmx_*() pattern used for querying VMCS capabilities. Keep
pi_has_pending_interrupt() as vmx_dy_apicv_has_pending_interrupt() does
a poor job of describing exactly what is being checked in VMX land.
No functional change intended.

Move the posted interrupt pre/post_block logic into vcpu_put/load
respectively, using the kvm_vcpu_is_blocking() to determining whether or
not the wakeup handler needs to be set (and unset). This avoids updating
the PI descriptor if halt-polling is successful, reduces the number of
touchpoints for updating the descriptor, and eliminates the confusing
behavior of intentionally leaving a "stale" PI.NDST when a blocking vCPU
is scheduled back in after preemption.
The downside is that KVM will do the PID update twice if the vCPU is
preempted after prepare_to_rcuwait() but before schedule(), but that's a
rare case (and non-existent on !PREEMPT kernels).
The notable wart is the need to send a self-IPI on the wakeup vector if
an outstanding notification is pending after configuring the wakeup
vector. Ideally, KVM would just do a kvm_vcpu_wake_up() in this case,
but the scheduler doesn't support waking a task from its preemption
notifier callback, i.e. while the task is right in the middle of
being scheduled out.
Note, setting the wakeup vector before halt-polling is not necessary:
once the pending IRQ will be recorded in the PIR, kvm_vcpu_has_events()
will detect this (via kvm_cpu_get_interrupt(), kvm_apic_get_interrupt(),
apic_has_interrupt_for_ppr() and finally vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()) and
terminate the polling.

Return bools instead of ints for the posted interrupt "test" helpers.
The bit position of the flag being test does not matter to the callers,
and is in fact lost by virtue of test_bit() itself returning a bool.
Returning ints is potentially dangerous, e.g. "pi_test_on(pi_desc) == 1"
is safe-ish because ON is bit 0 and thus any sane implementation of
pi_test_on() will work, but for SN (bit 1), checking "== 1" would rely on
pi_test_on() to return 0 or 1, a.k.a. bools, as opposed to 0 or 2 (the
positive bit position).

For VMX, when a vcpu enters HLT emulation, pi_post_block will:
1) Add vcpu to per-cpu list of blocked vcpus.
2) Program the posted-interrupt descriptor "notification vector"
to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR
With interrupt remapping, an interrupt will set the PIR bit for the
vector programmed for the device on the CPU, test-and-set the
ON bit on the posted interrupt descriptor, and if the ON bit is clear
generate an interrupt for the notification vector.
This way, the target CPU wakes upon a device interrupt and wakes up
the target vcpu.
Problem is that pi_post_block only programs the notification vector
if kvm_arch_has_assigned_device() is true. Its possible for the
following to happen:
1) vcpu V HLTs on pcpu P, kvm_arch_has_assigned_device is false,
notification vector is not programmed
2) device is assigned to VM
3) device interrupts vcpu V, sets ON bit
(notification vector not programmed, so pcpu P remains in idle)
4) vcpu 0 IPIs vcpu V (in guest), but since pi descriptor ON bit is set,
kvm_vcpu_kick is skipped
5) vcpu 0 busy spins on vcpu V's response for several seconds, until
RCU watchdog NMIs all vCPUs.
To fix this, use the start_assignment kvm_x86_ops callback to kick
vcpus out of the halt loop, so the notification vector is
properly reprogrammed to the wakeup vector.

Extract the posted interrupt code so that it can be reused for Trust
Domain Extensions (TDX), which requires posted interrupts and can use
KVM VMX's implementation almost verbatim. TDX is different enough from
raw VMX that it is highly desirable to implement the guts of TDX in a
separate file, i.e. reusing posted interrupt code by shoving TDX support
into vmx.c would be a mess.
